Deonc's Story

Deonc loves clothes, shoes, and fashion shows as much as any girl her age, but she's not just any girl. Deonc was born with Jarcho-Levin Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. Most children with this condition and equal level of severity never make it past their second birthday. Despite her initial prognosis, Deonc now attends mainstream elementary school. Doctors are certain Deonc "will live life to the fullest because she never lets anything stop her."

Children's Miracle Network Hospitals donations helped cover Deonc's medical expenses after her father lost his job and along with it, the family's health insurance coverage.

Dan's Story

After 29 years in the U.S. Marine Corp, multiple deployments and seeing the destruction, loss of life and sacrifice that comes from war, doctors diagnosed Dan Miller with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The urge to quit entered Dan's mind and he contemplated ending his life. Amazingly, a brochure for Wounded Warrior Project interrupted his suicide attempt. Dan now shares his story and participates in the Wounded Warrior Project "Warrior Speak" program to help fellow soldiers who are struggling to find their place and also helps others understand these struggles of our military men and women.

“ A brochure for Wounded Warrior Project was on the seat beside me and on the cover was a picture of a warrior who had lost his legs; yet, he was still working out in a gym. If he could do that, how could I give up? I wasn't going to deny my problems anymore. I called WWP, and fast forward to today - they've helped me keep my family together and continue to make my history. ”

Jeremie's Story

Jeremie Saunders is a 28 year old podcast host and Gemini award winning actor who is fighting cystic fibrosis. Jeremie is the co-producer and co-host of Sickboy, a Halifax based podcast which was listed as one of iTunes Best of 2015. The podcast dives into the world of what it’s like to live with illness and to find the lighter side of an otherwise dark situation using laughter and humour as a form of therapy. Jeremie’s goal in life is to change the conversation surrounding what it means to be sick and help destigmatize physical and mental illness. He uses Sickboy to help bridge the gap in conversation between the healthy and sick, using laughter as its medium.

“ When I turned 25 years old - an age that my parents were told I would never live to see the day - I had to pause and reflect on all of the incredible experiences I've had up to that point. It was in this reflection that I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards companies like CARSTAR, because the money they raise for Cystic Fibrosis research is exactly why I am still alive today. It's the reason to do the things that I love, and feel like I'm making a difference in the world. ”
